Under GEJ we also had high oil prices between 100-130 dollars per barrel from 2011-14. That's what buffered the gdp.

We could have done better if GEJ and his predecessors had diversified the economy away from oil and into (based on what Obi said when he was running for 2023 election)..productivity, and other sectors. That he did not do that is why we were left exposed in 2015, when oil prices had crashed to 75 dollars per barrel.

I no dey support APC. APC had a chance to diversify away from oil, but both buhari and tinubu have chosen the usual sharing money things..and the sane economic decisions they have taken like removing suhsidy and trying to reform tax is because the money flow from oyel is bad and IMF doesn't want to borrow us money no more.

\We had high oil prices during buhari era courtesy of the Russia-Ukraine war.

What did apc and buhari do with it?
What was our GDP growth under buhari?

Tinubu supporters are ready to place Nigeria on the lowest possible scale, if it makes tinubu shine brighter.

Hopeless unpatriotic animals.

I knew a clown will definitely find a way of insulting the country. Most of the developed world you worship and have become a slave to aren't on the list but you ignored it and insult the country as usual and typical of you people. One thing I am sure of is that no matter the insult and demarketing you people give to this nation, the people that will prosper and excel in it will definitely do so.
I am sure even if Nigeria is on that list, you would have also complain and nag about the position it would be. And even if Nigeria were to be on number 2 position,you would have insulted the country on how S.Suden is leading Nigeria. And if Nigeria were to be on the number one position, you would have called the list FAKE. So in all, you people are just terrible and I no really rate una.

And Mr. Man, you can move to S.Sudan. You aren't obliged to remain in Nigeria since the past, present and future condition of the country is making you unsuccessful in your endeavours.

The first world countries are already developed. They have very little room for growth.
None of them should be growing at above 3%.

Is Nigeria a first world country? Is it not third world?

Are you better than India or Ireland?
With our population, and the chronic under-development, we should be growing at atleast 6-7%.

People like you are a disservice to this country.

Tinubu supporters claim that they voted for tinubu because he built lagos and brought foreign investment and IGR growth.

Those investments happened under the PDP.
They were the fruits of the macroeconomic brilliance of Ngozi Iweala and a few egg heads in the PDP.
Those investments came into Nigeria courtesy of the PDP-led federal Policies.
The investors chose lagos after the FG have done the work, but tinubu claimed the glory as the so-called Jagaban of Lagos.

Now, tinubu is in the FG, but he can't attract those same investments and GDP growth that PDP did.

mfm04622:
We will do abut 4% this year! Which is not bad when you consider we are coming from about 2% average in the past.

The lowest in the list is 6%. This is why we won't be there. How many European countries do you see there?

What past?
Under Jonathan, we were averaging 7%.

India is the fourth largest economy in the world, and is still growing as high as 6%.

Streetinvestor2:
It is easy for SW president to lose 2027 elections than oti to ever lose abia elections even if Tinubu president becomes the returning officer

Even if anybody should defeat otti, it's not that ben kalu guy.
Such arrogance.

He's trying to use APC-SW political mentality in the SE.
He doesn't know they are two different political terrains.

This guy have associated with tinubu and his group so much that he has begun to mimick tinubu's utter disregard for the electorates.

The people on social media are they not voters?

Imagine if this clown enters power, he would be worse than Theodore.

Pikin wey dem no train well for house, would be trained by outsiders.

Since Gumi and his people refused to learn good behaviour, the US would force them to learn it.

If you are on the same side with gumi on any issue, then you are a terrorist.

If the United States supported biafra, we would have had a biafra nation today.

Be grateful that they didn't.

RealLordZeus:
The OP is mischievous.
You purposely modified the news content to suit your narrative..

Are you an illiterate?
What you posted has exactly the same meaning as the title of the thread.

Sannisege:
This is true because once victims see the faces of their kidnappers, they will definitely be killed because the kidnappers don’t want to face death penalty. The law should be that kidnapping attract 25 years imprisonment but if the victim dies in your custody, then the kidnapper gets the death penalty. Laws should not only punish the criminals but also protect the victims. Blanket law of death penalty on all kidnappers will only make the criminals more vicious and violent in an effort to cover their crime at all costs.

Ndimkpurummiri:
if added someone like Peter Obi would have been arrested and jailed for corruption

If you can prove that obi is corrupt, please jail him.

Unfortunately for you, even the apc cannot prove it, let alone you.

Flangelo12:
Arithmetic is not your strongest suit.

Obi is 66 years old.

If you add 6 years of Tinubu to that, Obi becomes 72.

It goes north, and that's for 8 years.

That makes Obi 80 years old.

The man that has never been quick witted would be unfit for office in 14 years from now.

Even you would reject him.

Obi would remain electable , even if he was walking with a stick.

Once the north enters, and have a chance to degrade whatever nonsense tinubu has built politically, we would see where this arrogance is coming from.

A region of perpetual opposition telling us who will be president and who will not, just because they have had some time in the sun.

Wonders shall never end.

Flangelo12:
When.did I say that?

By the way, we know he is contesting for the position of president.

Once Tinubu's 2nd term is secure, Obi knows it's going North.

His presidential ambition collapses at that point.

His presidential ambition will not collapse because you said so.
Nigeria is not your village.

Even if it goes north, it will still come back to the south and obi will be around to contest.

Buhari became president at 74, which is a very conservative age estimate for him.
Atiku is still contesting for the presidency.

So who are you to decide obi's political trajectory?

Flangelo12:
He must continue after 2027.

I thought you said he will stop doing good after the elections of 2023.
So you have shifted the goal post to 2027.

Even if he loses, you think he can't still run for elections after 2027?

BolaAThubv:
Unfortunately it's not your decision to take

Fortunately, my opinion is the same as that of our leaders in anioma.

https://punchng.com/delta-leaders-warn-against-taking-anioma-state-to-seast/

Armaggedon:
you're obviously a 🤡 and I shouldn't have engaged you. It's seriously doubtful you're from Anioma. Be ranting all day on a topic but when someone spares time to engage you, your dimw*t will show and you go back to spewing usually bigotry and emotions.
If you want to railroad me into unhealthy comparison between Igbos and Igbos across the Niger, then you're on failed mission. Asaba is economically dominated by southeasteners who will likely determine its future. Anioma also benefits more in southeast. You can rant on bro.

Mr Man, tell me one good thing anioma stand to gain from joining the South East.

Just one good thing. You would find that there is none.

Stop pouring spit everywhere.
You are a nobody to tell me who I am and where I come from.

Armaggedon:
public listed companies are owned by the shareholders and don't belong to any one individual or regions. So, no need mentioning companies from the east, since these ones are technically part of them. Jim ovia and elumelu are the largest shareholders of the respective companies. Only the likes of IVM and airpeace can be described as companies "from east" since their owners are from the southeast.
Mind telling me why you keep mentioning seplat?

I'm still waiting for you to tell me what Anioma has benefitted from being part of the southsouth?

Thank you, captain obvious.
Yes, those men are majority owners for a reason, and they represent anioma interests.
Publicly listing their companies does not stop it from being anioma owned.

And it will remain anioma-owned till the end of time.

The real question is, what exactly do you have to contribute to anioma, apart from clannishness and insecurity?
Despite outnumbering the anioma nation atleast 10:1, you can't even boast of a world class multinational organization.

What do you want to give anioma that we don't already have, or are not capable of creating on our own?

Armaggedon:
zenith bank and UBA are public listed companies. It has shareholders which include to a very large extent, people from the southeast . You can't compare it with the likes of innoson and airpeace in terms of exclusive ownership. Some of you are seriously afflicted with ignorance. Anioma is not gaining anything from southsouth and has not gain anything from southsouth, if you know any, tell me. It appears it hasn't gained anything in the south east because southeasterners are pouring development there with no strings attached. Infrastructural development in Asaba from southeasterners with nollywood are the only things Asaba has benefitted since its creation as state capital. South South gave it nothing!
Anioma will benefit most for being a state. It will join the south east development commission and NDDC while benefitting from Eastern free investment which has given Asaba a faster growth rate than warri.

Can you give me the name of any public listed company from the south east on the same level with Zenith bank and UBA.?
Those ones are too big.

What of Seplat?
BTW, the SE is more than 10 times the population of the anioma ethnic group.

BolaAThubv:
The only way Anioma State can see the light of day is by being zoned to the South East. If you can't handle that reality then you need help

Then let it remain in Delta state.
We don't need to be yoked to the madness of ipob.

IduNaOba:
The above are owned by igbo sons
So what's your point?
Innoson
Coscharis
And a few other Nnewi based companies no be joke o

None of them is 10% the size of UBA.

bigpicture001:
Okowa is also from Anioma ... He should contest Governor too...

Anioma joking the southeast is the best that can happen to them

Can you give me the name of any company from the SE that is as big as zenith or uba?

If you can't, then you should know that anioma has nothing to gain joining the SE.

GeneralOuki:
No you're not!

Okay.

rummmy:
will you keep quiet...they are igbos....you called the coup led by their son Nzogwu igbo coup and south east is still suffering till today....
You killed their fathers and able bodied men in what is known as asaba massacre..just because they are igbos
And you still went ahead to separate them from their brothers.....
Well... balkanization of the igbos by the wicked federal government will finally turn to a blessing to the igbos ...just time.
My brothers you can belong in any region be it south south or north central...but know it that your root is igbo no matter the hatred planted by fg on igbos....we are one people
God bless every true igbo sons and daughters

You have still not told me what exactly you have to offer us?
The River Niger seperated us.
Stay in your lane.

wman:
Dangote on fire! 🔥


All for hus own selfish interests though.

He doesn't care about us normally

.....

A man that can afford to pay $5m in school fees every year, is definitely getting constant steady supply of foreign currencies.

And the only way he could have made that kind of money is through high level bribes and subsidy scam.

Ofcourse, he would fight tooth and nail with anyone trying to pour sand in his garri.

Tinubu wants to tax us so that criminals like this can enrich switzerland.

Aliko Dangote dey try sha. The highest taxpayer.
Paying billions in taxes to criminals.

If it was me, I ain't paying any tax.
